Some of you may or may not have noticed that I was cooking a new template, Template:Top, for the last N days. You may also have noticed that I already added a version of it into the articles which have a /File, /Gallery, or /Transcript subpage, but I am thinking of taking it further.

We have an excessive use of the Template:Youmay tophat, which is fugly and outdated, and anyway is just a symptom of a structuring problem. In almost all of the cases the use of that template boils down to two cases:
 * There is a demon and a respective Devil Arm;
 * There is a reboot version of a classic character.

So I decided we need a dedicated tabber for those, as well.

I already accommodated for that (you can see the current draft at Template:Top/Sandbox and how it will look like at this lovely Test page) on top of adding some new super duper neat styling to the tabber, but here comes the thing. In order for the template to work, it is best if all Devil Arm and DmC articles become subpages to the main article, like so:
 * Cerberus and Cerberus/Devil Arm;
 * Rebellion and Rebellion/DmC.

This raises several problems.
 * Obviously, there is going to be a lot of renaming. Is there one or another reason I am not listing here why that would be a bad idea?
 * Different from File/Gallery/Transcript pages, to which nobody ever links except the main article, here it's going to be heckton of links to fix. Somewhat more manageable if I just leave redirects, but it's not the prettiest way to go about it.
 * This will merge the File pages for both the Devil Arm and the original demon, which isn't much of a problem since those are usually closely related anyway. This may be less acceptable regarding mixing classic and reboot files.
 * There are at least two sort of exceptions to the naming rule, Sparda and Dante. I say sort of, because the Sparda sword has been called just Sparda up until DMC5, where it acquired the fancy title of 'Devil Sword Sparda'; and I am not sure about merging Dante and DSD at all, although it makes some sense.
